Don't forget Step 8. After 24hrs, you need to go back and enable any 3rd party apps that you still trust. Your app that uploads images probably needs to reconnect to your Twitter account. Go back through that's process to get reauthorized.

Meh, I took it as being precise, but it is... plentiful.

Wow, tip 3 was obviously written at 3am. Do I need to write "profile" again?

Sorry, it's fixed now. Take a look at left for the social media buttons.

Au contraire mon frere: Apple is striving very hard NOT to duplicate Sony betamax by making sure standards "allow for" their products rather than restricting choices to someone else's (read: Google) preference. I prefer that Apple get their choice in the mix to Google getting their dominance of the interwebs stamped "approved"....

Not so wow. That only happens if the person uses the link and pays a year or two ahead. It certainly isn't required to do so before reading the column and I don't expect most people would use the link. I just put it there in case someone wanted to.

You can ask around. I help where I can, and usually at no charge.

A couple of the others I linked to also suggested using their referral links. They might still be good also.

I hope you found a tidbit or two of useful information.

You are always trying to be different aren't you. Succeeding at it is probably more apt.

I don't think "Shane" read your copy, but I enjoyed it. I'm glad you can do something you enjoy and are passionate about, and with the sacrifices you and your family make, that it works. I don't know anyone that deserves satisfaction more and is willing to do what it takes for it to work.

Please say hello to the wife & kids! Call or write and I promise I will meet you at least halfway (between St A & LL) to catch up next time I'll on the peninsula.

Hi Chuck - just came accross your site while searching out what others are up to in the hyperlocal site. We've been working on a business model for independent hyperlocal sites that doesnt rely on ads or subscriptions, but can still become a solid revenue generating business.

Our solutions, after many days of planning and nearly 2 years of programming is a platform that applies something called crowdsourcing in a local way. You might find it interesting - http://locallyinformed.com - if you decide to take a look, would be interested to hear your feedback and impressions. cheers.

Regarding:

16. Facebook pages and groups are great for sharing information- not for local marketing.

Facebook has developed tools that make it useful for local and regional marketing. But I still believe it is best used to augment your own site. Don't rely on a Facebook page or group alone.

Nick...

I'd just assume they were all at fault at this point. I don't have any proof who to blame.

The key might be to look at who gets compromised. It starts with those using some of the more obscure tools. I noticed a couple were using bots to collect tweets to auto-RT.

The others getting caught made the mistake of clicking the problem links.

Thanks Chuck! I can't believe this nonsense happens. Do you have any tips to figure out which of the "connections" was the culprit? I'd like to be able to trust things like twitterfeed, for examples. Are these connections allowing the spammers in? Or is it spammers compromising them, therefore me. Kind looking for someone to oust here.

Thanks Twitter_Tips. A very good point that readers need to make sure their virus scans are up-to-date.

I haven't had that password problem this month. I wasn't hit by the latest problem, but followed the above steps to make sure they worked. I was able to successfully change the password of my account and a pair I manage. Those who were hit by the problem were also able to change their passwords.

Easy to follow directions, thanks for the tip. I was brought to your post by @lakelandvision after encountering a spam that I opened.

Step 5 should be done if only if blocking access doesn't work because you may lose access to your account by changing your password at the present time. http://j.mp/OIGnU
Also, if your computer is infected (which has happened to Twitter users in the past), you need to get the virus off your computer to block access to your account.
